PATTI SMITH GROUP | WAVE (1979) Record store poster ft. Mapplethorpe photography

$1,250.00

Robert Mapplethorpe (photographer)  [New York]: Arista Records, [1979]. Vintage original record store poster, 36 x 36″ (91.5 x 91.5 cm.). Mounted on board, with two grommets at top (so that the poster could be hung for display), and with one horizontal fold, all as issued, with very slight creasing and one tiny closed tear in blank margins, just about fine.

A very scarce record store poster for Wave, the fourth album of punk poet-laureate Patti Smith. The image of her holding two white doves was photographed by her close friend, Robert Mapplethorpe.
